A wonderful experience - We were picked up early at 02.15 h at the hotel in El Gouna by car and then we started. Drinks were on board and included. The driver drove safely, defensively and took sufficient breaks.
In Cairo we were welcomed by our German speaking guide Adam. The first stop was the Egyptian Museum. In best German we got an insight into the fascinating history of Egypt. After a short sailing tour on the Nile we went to lunch, which was also good.
The next point then the pyramids and the sphinx. Adam advised us on what to see and what is rather not worthwhile.
The tour back also worked without any problems, we were back in El Gouna at 8.30 pm.
Conclusion: It was an experience and we can fully recommend the operator. We also made a tour to Luxor with this operator and everything was right there.
Thanks to the team. If it's Cairo, ask for Adam!

A thoroughly organized, successful excursion, with probably the best “guide”! - We had booked a private day trip, with flight from Hurghada to Cairo and back. Picking up and returning it worked smoothly.
Once in Cairo we were picked up by our private guide “Adam”. The trip went through the million metropolis directly to the Egyptian Museum, then a short sailboat trip on the Nile and then directly to the pyramids and the Sphinx.
In the afternoon we were still in the old town with the bazaar.
Adam, no matter where we were, had so much information and stories to tell. That was awesome!
Thanks again for the unforgettable trip with Adam and his driver and the Zakharious team.

Beautiful day trip to Cairo - On 01.10 we were picked up from our hotel at 2 am for the drive to Cairo. We had a very relaxed one way trip with some pee and cigarette breaks. Both drivers of the vehicle (Ilal & Halal) took us safely and well to Cairo where they already told us a lot in German on the way there. You could sleep great in the small bus 😴. In Cairo, our guide Adam came with very good knowledge of German, with whom we were first in the Egyptian Museum where he told us in detail a lot and exciting. After the museum we also made a little Nillfahrt.
We continued to the really delicious lunch where we could help ourselves to the buffet with a view of the pyramids. There were super tasty freshly squeezed juices for little money. After strengthening, we continued to our highlight of the tour the incredible pyramids. Adam has shown us the best places for photos in addition to the exciting Historical Information and explained how to get rid of intrusive sellers. Further at the Sphinx there is a small bazaar where you can shop cheaply where we could beat out the cheapest prices thanks to Adam. At the end there was a tour in the car through Cairo where Adam told us a lot about the culture and life there.
The return trip to the hotel was super relaxed thanks to our two drivers in the air-conditioned minibus and chilled drinks.
We can definitely recommend the tours with Zakaharious and would book our tours through you again on our next holiday in Egypt.

Highly recommended - Booking Referral was made from Germany, payment was made on site.
All transfers and Flights were as described. Punctual and confident.
Particularly noteworthy is "our" guide Markus, who at all times took care of all our questions and needs.
He speaks excellent German, is patient and has brought us closer to the history and culture of ancient and present Egypt with his casual and charming manner.
The supply of drinks and small snacks in between was also very pleasant.
Our driver also drove us safely through the traffic in Cairo and the surrounding area, which sometimes seems very chaotic to us. Thank him again at this point.
The food was also very delicious and recommended.
Conclusion: We would book with this provider again at any time.

A super organization and competent staff for an eventful day. - We booked the trip to Cairo to the Pyramyds weeks before our trip to Egypt from home. Why with Zakharious-Tours ? We liked the offer the best, not only because it was among the most affordable.
We got a little nervous because we didn't hear from Zakharious-Tours after the confirmation voucher and the request to send our ID cards in copy.
So two days before the appointment asked again via Whats App, the answer came promt and to our complete satisfaction. By the way, the whole communication took place via Whats App, which was very relaxed.
On the day of the trip, the pick-up service was punctually in front of the hotel, which was already top. The driver gave us an envelope with Egyptian cash with the request to hand this envelope to the guide in Egypt. We handed over the agreed amount of the excursion to the driver in euros.
Was a bit unusual for us, but in retrospect a good and cost-saving solution is considered.
At the airport of Hurgarda, the driver provided us with some tips and took a photo of us, which he sent to the guide in Cairo. The service was great before and worth us a tip.
The flight was pleasant and entertaining. Arriving in Cairo, our guide rushed straight at the exit to greet us. Thanks to the photo so no long search, again top to the organization.
I don't want to write what we've seen now, there's probably not that much space here. Just so much, we saw everything Zakharious-Tours offered and much more. It was all super organized, our guide explained everything to us, read some anecdotes from the stack and answered each of our questions patiently and competently, especially the tour of the bazaar in Cairo was a unique experience thanks to his company. Also the lunch included in the price was very good, rich and tasty.
The day actually ended way too quickly, we were all fixed and done, but really happy to have experienced the day in this form.
Also the flight back to Hurgarda was fank of the organization no problem, at the airport there was also another employee of Zakharious-Tours who brought us back to the hotel.
Overall and based on the experiences we have had, we can really recommend Zakharious-Tours and should we come back to Egypt we are guaranteed to repeat the tour again with Zakharious-Tours.

Sensational tour to Cairo - It was just great! We had an unforgettable day in Cairo - mainly thanks to our fantastic guide Adam. He made sure with his warm manner that we could enjoy every second of our tour. And all without rushing. Just as an example: we were at the pyramids for almost 3 hours, Adam showed us the best photo spots and frequently grabbed our own camera to capture grandiose memories.
National Museum, lunch with a view of the top of the Cheops Pyramdie, walk through old Cairo and even an impromptu boat trip on the Nile (not normally included in the tour, but additional fee is totally worth it) - we were able to experience all this in peace and with lots of great information from Adam. Our driver Tina steered us through the wild traffic in Cairo with a peace of mind, we felt in good hands.
Shortly after: communication with Zakharious Tours was super pleasant, transfer to the airport and back through Carlos was on time. Everything was perfectly organized, we can recommend this tour 100 percent.

Perfect trip to Cairo - The drive from Safaga to Cairo was very long, but we knew this in advance, but with the world’s best driver Mina that was no problem. He took us safely back and forth, and provided us with drinks in the best way. Our guide in Cairo was Markus. Absolutely competent, very informative. He responded to all our wishes, explained everything very vividly, and brought us closer to Egyptian history. All our questions were answered, he was a really great companion for the day in Cairo.
Communication with Zakh Tours via WhatsApp was absolutely hassle-free, easy and 100% reliable. That was already our 2. Tour ! Like Luxor last year, Cairo was an absolutely perfectly organized excursion this year. 100% recommended.

Great day in Kario - Top providers - We spent a truly unique day in Cairo, thanks to our guide “Markus” and his driver, who safely took us through Cairo’s very chaotic traffic.
“Markus” received us super friendly at the airport and then discussed the possible process with us. We could decide over and over again throughout the day what we wanted to do and for how long. “Markus” entertained us very well in impeccable German and with his extensive knowledge of the history of Cairo and Egypt, and the day had been very entertaining as a result. So we can only recommend “Markus” if you are on a tour with ZAKHARIOUS Tours.
The Orga. ran flawlessly via WhatsApp, quickly and very friendly.
Despite an hour delay on the return flight, the driver waited for us and took us back to the hotel.
